About this map

The borough of Valencia and the adjacent settlement of Gibsonia anchor the southern reach of this Butler County landscape, where the suburban growth of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area meets more rural topography. Historically significant nodes like Glade Mills, Hays Mill, and Strables Corners indicate a heritage of small-scale industry and milling along the region's many waterways. The terrain is defined by the drainage of Glade Run and its eponymous Glade Run Lake, alongside the southern flows of Willow Run and W Br Deer Cr.

Modern transportation and leisure facilities have integrated into the older settlement patterns, evidenced by Hawkins Field Airport and several recreational greenspaces such as Pittsburgh North Golf Course and Rittswood Golf Course. The map traces the historical progression from rail-oriented hubs like Bakerstown Station to the automobile-centric developments surrounding Bakerstown and the corridors of Pittsburgh Rd and Old Route 8 N.
